Struck on Gold, Money of the Muhgal Emperors<br>
</font><font size="1">both until 2nd September </font></p>
<p><font size="1">'Jewelled Arts of India in the age of the Mughals'
has 300 pieces of stunning Indian jewellery dating from the time
of the Great Mughals, who ruled India from the mid-16th to the early
18th century. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">The exhibition features extravagant jewellery, such
as earrings, pendants, rings and bracelets as well as daggers with
jewel-encrusted scabbards and hilts, jewelled boxes, cups and gaming
pieces. A central piece is the famous Ruby Dagger with a gold scabbard
and a hilt studded with more than 2,000 gems. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">'Struck on Gold' shows the coins that the The Mughal
emperors struck. They are startlingly beautiful, with elegant Arabic
inscriptions and verses of Persian poetry. Unusually for Islamic
coins, they include portraits of Emperors as well as signs of the
Zodiac. There are also enormous coins which were intended for presentation.
</font></p>
<p><font size="1">The exhibition uses the coins to examine the origin
of the great Mughal leaders, the spread of their empire and the
different currency and dating systems that were used. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">Jewelled Arts of India in the age of the Mughals
is in the West Wing Exhibition Gallery, Room 28 Admission costs
